AutoPause and stopShow aren't working

[CitizenOfRome]

Here's my code:

   window.slide=$('#slides').bxSlider({
      mode:"horizontal",
      controls:false,
      randomStart:true,
      auto:true,
      pause:4500,
      autoHover:true
    });
    $('.slides').focus(function() {
      window.slide.stopShow();
    });
    $('#prev').click(function() {
      window.slide.goToPreviousSlide();
      window.slide.stopShow();
    });
    $('#next').click(function() {
      window.slide.goToNextSlide();
      window.slide.stopShow();
    });

The slideshow doesn't stop on hover or even when next/prev are clicked, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I'm testing on Google Chrome v17 and the console doesn't report any errors.

Similar problem here... when I click on next/prev the slideshow does not stops... resulting in immediate switching between slides
